Dive Site Tours:

If you are more comfortable having someone guide you though the dive sites, helping you find the wolf-eels, octopus, and other marine life, or navigating the currents of the narrows. Maybe a tour from a currently certified and licensed dive master is for you. Price is $50.00 per dive, maximum of 3 divers per dive master. Arrangements must be made prior to day of dive. Please e-mail or call for reservations.

Refresher Coarse/Dives:

Certified, but it has been years since your last dive. You are still in possession of your certification card but can't remember how to do the tables. Your buoyancy control needs work. Our dive masters will review the dive tables, diving principles, review diving skills, then go for two open water boat dives. Price is $200.00 and includes all classroom and boat. Desired educational material is extra along with any equipment needs.

Tanks and Weights:

Faber Steel 85 cubic foot and 95 cubic foot tanks, with air fills are available at no charge on board the Mark V. Nitrox fills will incur an additional cost. Lead weights are also available at no cost. Please be sure to bring your own tanks and weights if chartering the Dash..

Dive Trip Planning:

Is there a dive that you have heard about but never done and you have no idea how to plan it? Let us help you. We will make all arrangements to include directions, lodging, boat and shore dive options, air and equipment needs, restaurants, etc. We will give you the best times of the year to make your trip along with estimated total trip expense.
